Giro Prolight SLX Shoes 2012

Giro Prolight SLX Shoes 2012

Giro Prolight SLX Shoe 2012

The Prolight SLX redefines fit, feel and power-to-weight performance in a lightweight shoe. Starting with a select Teijin microfiber upper that shapes to your foot like a second skin, Giro then added an ultralight EVA footbed plus a SuperNatural Fit Kit footbed with adjustable arch support so you can customize the fit to match your needs. At only 6.5mm thick, the high-modulus Easton® EC90 SLX outsole is exceptionally thin and light yet provides best-in-class stiffness for maximum power transfer. Titanium hardware reduces weight even further. If you’re looking for the lightest pro-level shoe without compromise, this is it.

Giro Prolight SLX Shoe Features

Teijin AG100 ultra-light microfober upper

3 strap closure

Offset "D-rings" made of titanium to reduce pressure points and reduce weight

I've worn several high-end shoes (Pearl Izumi PRO Leader, Sidi Genius 5 and even the Giro Factor) and none even came close to the fit and stiffness of this shoe. Size 47 with Keo cleats came to 510 grams -- these things are light as a feather. The supernatural fit system that comes with the shoe is excellent, and allows for three different arch levels. The high arch does it for me, and results in an insole that feels custom made. The uppers are a bit stiff at first, but have since conformed to my feet and feel almost like a slipper. The Easton carbon sole is extremely thin (I had to lower my saddle height 5mm to accommodate) and extremely stiff. The entire system results in a shoe that translates, quite simply, into an excellent platform to transfer power. Finally, you should serve hard time for what these cost -- $120 for a $360 road shoe of this caliber is highway robbery. I'm so impressed that I might buy 2 extra pair -- these shoes are that good, and easily the best cycling money I've ever spent.

A note on sizing. I wear an 11B or 11.5B, depending on the shoe. Although they look small, the 45.5 in this shoe fits perfectly. It is snug all around, much more so than D width shoes which are too loose for my feet.

So, if you have wide feet these will likely be too narrow. If you have narrow and not ultra-high arched feet, perfect.

i would have given these 5 stars if the top strap weren't so short. I understand the need to be very light weight, but half inch more strap would make this shoe fit a lot better. Other than that, the shoe requires almost no break-in time, the different sets of arch support is great, and the carbon fiber sole is plenty stiff. Highly recommended!

I have a narrow foot with a high arch; finding shoes that fit is a tough task. The Prolight SLX from Giro exceeded my expectations. It features: a custom insole that provides a choice of three arch supports, velcro straps that adjust the shoe to fit your own particular foot volume, and a stiff carbon sole for power delivery. This is the lightest shoe I've ever owned! The Shimano SPD-SL cleats are a perfect match to the curvature of the carbon sole. If you wear a 48 in Sidi's, then a 48 will fit you in the Giro's.

These are super light and super stiff, they look nice and they fit folks that don't have superwide feet. They come with a variety of arch supports so you can fine tune the fit. Best shoes I've owned by a long shot and now a killer deal.

Love the shoes ! As light as advertised. From the first ride I could tell the difference in both weight, comfort and keeping my feet cool. Not sure why other reviews mentioned short straps, they seem perfect to me. My previous shoes were Sidi with only 2 straps and like how the 3 straps on Giro keep my feet in place better with no stress point discomfort. Do admit that on first ride there was some discomfort in my feet, but due to experimenting with inserts. On my old shoes my feet would hurt after the ride, on these Giro Prolight after 2 rides of 30 miles each I have no after ride discomfort. Got a great deal through Jensonusa and the tech head gave me great pre-sale input to ensure proper fit. Highly recommend Giro Prolight and JensonUSA.

They simply are fantastic. Very light with a great fit and a super power transfer. With my custom inserts, no pressure points of any sort. I use them for racing only since I do not to wear them out prematurely while using for training.The price from Jenson makes these shoes a deal of a century....I just wish I bought another pair or two while they had them in my size. Thank you Jenson; quality product, amazing price and super service.

Very light weight as advertised. Love the air vents in soles near toes, helps keep feet/toes noticeably cooler. Noticeable difference in foot comfort after my rides. I expected them to fit smaller than they do. Input from Jenson rep ensured a good fit. Overall, great shoes, can not find any negatives.

I'm a 210 pound pedal masher and these shoes are plenty stiff. Quality is obviously high and for me buckles have always been pretty useless - Velcro or laces are a better solution. I really like the look of these shoes also. The weight is as-advertised - these things are light. Get the right size - these are as far as I can tell 100% true to size down to the millimeter - so if your foot is 29cm don't get a 28cm shoe. Width and volume, however, are pretty adjustable.

At Jenson's prices these are outstanding value for money. The shoes are lighter than any others I've tried. After buying a pair of high quality Italian shoes that were very uncomfortable I decided to go back to Giro that have always been comfortable and durable. Not only were they comfortable from the first ride the quality and performance of the shoes was impressive. The short velcro closures were a problem once I added my orthotics but it was easily overcome. Use a short length of velcro, the same width, available from a hardware store. Just stick it to the existing fixed velcro on the shoe (as an extension), fold over the closure and get on your bike. Very happy with the shoes and Jenson's service and delivery!

Upgraded to these from an entry level pair of Lake shoes. Super light! With the sale price I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair. They cost almost as much as entry level shoes, and these are top notch. Some reviews noted short velcro straps, I can see this as they are much shorter than my previous pair of shoes; however they work great for me with an average width foot.

Major sale at Jenson USA. No surprise there. Mathematics as follows: $350 shoes for $140. Hmmm....okay then! WOW! just buy them. Get at least a half size bigger. If ya take a 42, get a 42.5. Giro isn't terribly generous in the toebox, but not necessarily cramped either. Unbelievably light weight; under 200g per shoe. All straps, no ratchets! I am pleased with my purchase. I have not owned shoes of this caliber.

These are 350 dollar shoes for 110 dollars. It doesn't make sense not to get them. They are really great shoes as 350 dollar shoes should be. I have a 10.5 inch foot 44.5 fits perfectly. I have a slightly wide foot and it still fits great.

As the name suggests, these things are light! It's a nice minimal design and the velcro-only lends to this feel.

My first impression is that they feel like slippers. The upper feels slightly on the flexible side to me. I don't know if this is a pro or a con, but it feels like some energy could be lost here. I would imagine a shoe of this calibre might be slightly stiffer in the upper, as are other high-end road shoes that I've owned.

The velcro works great and holds your foot very securely and you can make micro-adjustments well with it. I have a wider foot and the flexible upper and easy adjustability helps my foot to be comfortable throughout long rides.

The insoles seems to be well thought out and come with three replaceable arch supports depending on your foot. My only complaint is that the insoles are made of a material that allows the foot to slide around, especially with thin, synthetic cycling socks. Many other shoes have the same type of insole so maybe it's just me. They seem to hold your foot ok, but I've replaced them with some from another shoe that has a more rubbery, no-slide feel to them.

Love the shoe, got wrong size at first. I wear an 11.5 U.S. sneaker in Nike, Reebok, Adidas, and Converse but had to get a 12.0 / 46 to be comfortable. The toe box is narrow, probably why I had to get a 12.

It is so light and great looking, I love using them.

Haven't needed the 3 cushion/arch supports yet but great to have the adjustability.

These shoes are top quality and only have a single flaw: the top strap doesn't allow for much adjustment. With my low-volume, flat feet, I'm basically at the tightest this strap will allow. It works fine for me, though, and they fit great. However, I can imagine that anyone with high-volume feet might have trouble pulling the strap through enough because it is so short.

Other than that, these shoes are stiff, light, comfortable, and fit the same as every other Giro shoe. I think the last is the same as their MTB shoes as well. If you currently own a pair of Giro shoes and the size works for you, order the same size here with confidence.

I have very small feet and knew size 40 was too long with the Trans model. Got a 39 first and it was too tight plus the top strap was at the limit.Got a 39.5 and feel perfect.I don't consider my self with a high instep, but the top strap is still a bit short, 1/2 inch longer will have been perfet. I will probably do a small modification to the shoes.The Easton EC90 SLX sole matchs other Easton component on my bike, just a cool factor.

Also, as a Canadian, first time dealing wiht JensonUSA, and the shipping took 2 days, wow!

A lightweight shoe with a excellent carbon sole. Sizing is so far off it's comical. I ordered a 46 instead of my usual 44.5. The 46 is borderline to small and the straps are barely long enough for the hook and loop closure to make contact. It's a nice show but order at least 2 sizes larger than what is recommended in the Giro size chart for this shoe.

Just be careful with the sizes. I had to return the first pair because it was very small for me. It will be great if Jenson USA include the sizes in CM in the sizes chart. Giro has very small sizes for the number. I usually use 9.5 US and this number is always around 27.5 CM. The pair I returned was 10 US (43.5 EURO) and it was 27 CM !!! Returned those and ordered a 44.5 EURO. It fitted just perfect.Before ordering, google "giro shoe size chart".

So I ordered these shoes and just received them but here is my view on them. I tried the shoe on immediately, I usually wear a 10.5 US, and ordered the 44.5 size. The size honestly felt perfect, and although I haven't done any riding with them, they do feel very comfortable, even on my midwide foot. Another thing, the shoes look and feel like quality footwear, and definitely look sturdy. They are very light, as you would expect. The last note is that the previous reviews are all right in saying that the straps are indeed too short, well mainly the top ones. Although this is easily remedied. Anyway this shoe is pretty impressive.

These are light, stiff, comfortable, and an overall great value. As others have said, the front buckle is too short. It's simply a design flaw. I attach it and there is barely any Velcro holding it, but it hasn't come undone yet with about 300 miles so far. I've done a couple 70-80 mile rides, and they remain comfortable enough for me not to think about them.

Purchased these shoes to replace a pair of Shimano's I've had for a year that were a little too big. Wanted to upgrade to a nicer shoe and the price on the Prolight SLX was too good to pass up. Shoes are as light as advertised and fit my foot well, but I found that the top Velcro strap was too short to tighten down securely so I had to return them.

As one commenter posted previously, the straps are WAY too short. I do not have big/fat feet at all, and the top strap doesn't even have 0.5" of contact. Because the contact area of the velcro is so short, I am not sure if it will be secure. I am not sure if these will eventually stretch or not, but I am leaning towards sending them back. For the record, I bought 2 pairs (2 different sizes) and they both have short straps.
